Banana Nut Cinnamon Swirl Bread

#Banananutcinnamonswirlbread

This #bread is wonderful and amazing in flavor because of the one banana added to the mix.  It will toasted very well in a bread toaster, for breakfast.  Try to serve it with homemade jams and butters.

2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 large ripe banana, broken into 1−inch pieces
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 cups bread flour
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast

Filling
1 1/2 tablespoons softened butter
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons chopped pecans (or walnuts)

Mix milk with yeast, put aside for about 5 minutes.

Add the rest of the ingredients and let rise for about one hour.

When the dough is ready, turn it out onto a lightly floured board and punch it down. Let it rest a for a
few minutes. Roll the dough into a rectangle no more than 9 inches wide, or the length of your loaf pan.
Spread the softened butter over the dough.

In a small bowl, combine the the brown sugar, cinnamon and nuts. Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture
evenly over the dough. Roll up the dough, jellyroll fashion, starting with the short, 9−inch side, forming
a loaf; pinch the edge to seal.

Spray a 9 1/2−inch loaf pan with no−stick spray. Place the shaped loaf in the pan, seam side down.

Rising to perfection

Cover and let rise in a warm place until the loaf has doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to
350 degrees F.

Bake the loaf in the preheated 350 degree F oven for 30 to 45 minutes or until the loaf is golden brown.

    What a lovely loaf – that swirl is beckoning me…and I definitely love the look of pb shmeared on top of a toasted slice. Just gorgeous. Thanks for adding it to the BYOB bread basket this month. :)

    H! I’m just curious that there is no other liquid to add to this mixture, usually bread has more liquid added to it. Does it work well without ? Thank you!

        It is a wonderful bread! Your eggs must be bigger than mine, my hens only lay medium sized eggs. :-) It was necessary for me to add 3 Tablespoons of water to have all the flour come together in the loaf, but it turned out beautifully and so delicious! I will try using more banana or larger eggs next time. I love the banana flavor with the cinnamon.. Delicious.

    Your bread looks wonderful! I really like the addition of the banana, both for flavour and texture.
